LD (LaDonna Jean) McCollum, 56, of Russellville, died Sunday, July 13, 2014, at Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center following a 12 year battle with lung disease. She was born April 23, 1958, in Russellville, to John Ed and Margaret Turner Vestal. She was married on September 28, 1988, to Robert McCollum. LD was a 1976 graduate of Dardanelle High School, where she proudly led the marching band as drum majorette her senior year, exhibiting the hard work and dedication it took to achieve that position of responsibility. She was also a graduate of Capital City Business College. Upon receiving her degree, she was employed by the college and Arkansas Nuclear One before retiring after 21 1/2 years with City Corporation. LD was a lifelong resident of the area and was past secretary of the RHS Lady Cyclone Softball Booster Club. She coordinated the softball concession stand for four years. Her passion for kids led her to spend many summers as a coach of both recreational and competitive softball teams for the Boys and Girls Club. She was a member of First United Methodist Church. LD was particularly aware of those in need and, while she was able, contributed time to many local charitable organizations. She had an uncanny knack of knowing what situations would make others uncomfortable and served as a shield to protect them. LD was fiercely independent, but at the same time had a heart of gold. Her world revolved around her children (and her grandchild), her canine companions, and trying to make sure those in need had their needs met. She loved her classmates, and was instrumental in planning periodic reunions and keeping up with everyone's lives.
She was preceded in death by her mother; a sister, Pam Mobley; a nephew, Seth Brewer; her father-in-law and mother-in-law, Lewis and Joann McCollum; and her beloved fur babies, Brinkley and Lilly.
She is survived by her husband, Robert; daughters Lindsay Lacefield (Lance) of Mount Pleasant, Texas, and Cassidy McCollum (Levi Brewer) of Bentonville; step-daughter, Brittany McCollum of Little Rock; grandchild, Harper Lacefield of Mount Pleasant; her father, John Ed Vestal of Dardanelle; sisters, Vicky Jackson (Steve) of Dardanelle, and Kay McMullen (Robert) of Centerville; a sister-in-law, Beth Templeton (Larry) of Fayetteville; special aunt and uncle, Elizabeth and Carroll Norris of Atkins; and numerous nieces and nephews.
Funeral services will be at 10 a.m. on Thursday, July 17, 2014, in the First United Methodist Church Chapel, officiated by the Rev. Gail Brooks. Eulogist will be Rusty Henderson. Burial will be in the Atkins City Cemetery, by Shinn Funeral Service of Russellville.
